List of constituencies of the Bhutan National Assembly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bhutan National Assembly, the lower house of the bicameral Parliament of Bhutan, consists Members of Parliament (MPs). Each MP represents a single geographic constituency.[1] Currently, it has 47 constituencies.[2][3]
National Assembly constituencies are distributed among the dzongkhags[upper-alpha 1] in proportion to their registered voter population as recommended by the Delimitation Commission, provided that "no Dzongkhag shall have less than two [or] more than seven National Assembly constituencies."[1]
Gelegphu (NA1301) constituency has the highest number of registered voter population with 16,283 registered voters; Khatoed_Laya (NA0402) constituency has the lowest number of registered voter population with 966 registered voters.
Out of the 20 dzongkhags of Bhutan, Trashigang, with five constituencies, has the highest number of National Assembly constituencies. Samtse, with four constituencies, has the second highest number of National Assembly constituencies. Mongar and Pema Gatshel, with three constituencies each, share the third highest position. All of the other 16 dzongkhags have two constituencies each.
